- Federal agencies stopped collecting and publishing data on immigration, workforce, climate, and other topics — The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration has ceased collection and publication of data across multiple federal agencies. The Department of Homeland Security stopped issuing monthly immigration statistics reports in February. The administration did not deliver the legally required annual report on the federal workforce. Dozens of climate change reports and data collections have been removed from government websites. The Education Department omitted key data from its required annual education report. Ongoing surveys have been dropped, including the Agricultural Labor Survey, the Drug Abuse Warning Network, and a household survey on hunger. Climate scientist Daniel Swain stated that "the complete and total collapse" of federal agency credibility has occurred in recent months.
